The road is empty and the car meanders through the mountains and along the lake shore, overlooking the calm water, surrounded by fir trees and a few alpine villages scattered here and there. We are at the Casa d'Idro, in the municipality of Idro, on the western shore of the lake in a panoramic and sunny position. The oldest structure of the House dates back to the period between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. We are talking about the 15th century and we immediately notice the conformation of the building, with the ground floor and its portico, the typical stables, a series of storerooms and cellars, while on the first floor, as was customary in the past, we find the living quarters, barns and other rooms that once served the function of extra storage rooms, but which today could be rooms, communal spaces or other, depending on how one wants to re-imagine the distribution of space. Crowning the ancient farmhouse is a fund, part of which is used for grazing, part for fodder production, with an orchard, wood and vegetable garden. In short, an ancient farmhouse worthy of a setting for a Boccaccio tale. In fact, the farmhouse features architectural elements and artefacts that constitute significant evidence of local history and art, which in this case are also recognised as being of immeasurable cultural and architectural value. It has been years, if not decades now, that the world has completely changed, and although one would like to tell a long story of ancient intrigues, love affairs, victories and defeats, a tale worthy of an epic novel, we are forced to return from our journey through time and note that, as is the case in many cases, modernity has brought about the cessation of farming and livestock breeding, leading to the loss of the land's peculiar vocation. But, as we all know, one door closes and another one opens. The current owners, who are engaged in other activities, have always, in keeping with family tradition, kept the building and grounds in good condition. In fact, they have carried out numerous maintenance works on the main building, also at a structural level, and have periodically mowed the grass, cut wood and cared for the fruit trees, keeping the entire property in good condition.à. In the light of all this, the possibilities for functional recovery are many, from a tourist-restaurant and restaurant vocation to socio-healthcare or senior housing, but also purely residential, all of which obviously implies the restoration of the main building with a redistribution of the internal spaces and a feasibility assessment of the construction of new facilities to increase the opportunities and services to be offered depending on the final destination. Here, along the magnificent Lake Idro, in an old house full of history and ready to welcome new and even more beautiful ones.

Today we are ready for a Vespa outing, the sun has already shown itself in all its splendour since early morning, contrasting with the turquoise sky. Riding along the western Gardesana today is more beautiful than ever, to the left the ancient walls bordering Lake Garda and to the right all the shades of green of the vegetation. I love not going too fast on my motorbike and with my helmet back with goggles because I am also lucky enough to smell the scents which, combined with the landscape, make for a 360° experience. Our tour starts from Monte Gu, as they call it here, we are over 1550 m on Monte Pizzocolo where we can admire the Adamello group, Monte Rosa, the Apennines, Monte Baldo and the ValVestino dam. We stop at the "due aceri" bivouac, where there is a small church dedicated to the fallen of all wars, because from the top we truly have a wonderful view of the enchanted place in which the property we are about to see is set. Back on our bikes, we finally head for Toscolano Maderno which, as I have told you, is located on the western shore of Lake Garda, in the province of Brescia. This small town has ancient roots, even dating back to Roman times, and is known for its natural beauty, with its breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding hills, but also for its rich history and culture. In the past it was also an important centre of paper production in the afternoon walk to the Valle delle Cartiere we will see an interesting paper museum. The two-room apartment set in a modern residential centre overlooks on one side the ancient port of Toscolano, which between the 15th and 18th centuries was a centre for sorting paper and iron, from where boats arrived and departed for Venice, and on the other the practical swimming pool set in the beautiful condominium park, which allows us to enjoy our holidays with all the comforts. We reach the flat, which is on the third floor, by an external staircase overlooking the central park, and from here we access the living area with two views, one of which overlooks the small terrace overlooking the lake and the other the terrace from which we entered. The sleeping area is independent and bordered by a door beyond which is the bathroom with shower and to the right the master bedroom which overlooks the terrace with pool view and to the left the single bedroom which overlooks the small balcony with lake view. The staircase from the living room leads to a splendid private terrace on the fourth and top floor, structured in such a way as to guarantee total privacy and a special place to spend evenings alone or in company. You thought the surprises were over? Wrong, the flat is completed by a garage and a practical cellar. How? OK let's get the bike and go and see it...you will be as enraptured as I am.

We walk through the districts of the Ispica countryside, where blades of grass lie prone to the constant blowing of the sea breeze, laden with swollen dewdrops in which the sun is reflected in the turquoise sky. The old farmhouse immediately evokes the idea of frugality, rusticity and the echo of a distant yet so incredibly familiar era. It is a marvel of absolute calm, in an infinite field, a reality in which one can laugh, joke, cry and love without anyone knowing. In other words, it is a place we could truly call our own. Today, however, the property is in a state of neglect, the garden is uncultivated and in need of replacement. But, equipped with the right vision, we immediately identify the main concept: do we salvage the two small houses that are there or do we demolish everything and salvage the volume? Either way, the imagination has a lot to feed on. A modern, contemporary villa in a minimalist style as well as a combination of tradition and modernity? A swimming pool or jacuzzi? Or a volleyball net hung between a palm and an oak tree? Or solar panels on a canopy to protect the car? A beautiful colonnade with climbing plants or an orchard, an olive grove, a citrus grove or... the ideas are endless, just like the potential of this rustic cottage nestled in its gigantic grounds that seem to be a fiefdom worthy of a medieval noble vassal. And so the proposal takes shape: a large plot of land of more than 12,000 square metres plus two buildings, the larger of which is partly used as a dwelling with a living area, two bedrooms, bathroom and storeroom, with a warehouse alongside, while the second building, of more modest dimensions, was certainly once used as an agricultural warehouse. Today we can think either of recovering the volume, or of renovating the existing buildings, changing or retaining, according to need, their function, for our first home, for holidays or as a property to be rented out to the delight of many tourists.

Your dream of a villa in an exclusive, sheltered and sunny place but at the same time reachable in five minutes from the center of Rovereto is finally achievable.

Also on the floor we find the boiler room, the laundry room, closets and the cellar dug into the rock, an ideal place to store your best wines. We now go up to the first floor, we are welcomed by a very large living room facing south-west, equipped with large panoramic balconies and the American kitchen with exit to the rear terrace of over 300 m2 equipped with open kitchen, barbecue and relaxation area, obviously without forget about the bathroom located near the entrance. From a beautiful and bold internal staircase in glass and steel, we go up to the upper floor, where under the exposed wooden roof we find 3 bedrooms, 1 double room with en-suite bathroom, a second double room and a twin room with their own bathroom. bath. Here too, two beautiful covered terraces allow you to gaze across the entire valley, from Monte Stivo to Bondone. The entire villa reflects the owner's desire to surround himself with pleasant and aesthetically particular things, without giving up the maximum usability of all the spaces and the technology to guarantee the pleasure of living. The garden, the true pride of this residence, is built on various terraces from which to enjoy various views of the valley, and on the main one a splendid swimming pool with breathtaking views. Vegetable garden, tool houses and shelters for farmyard animals complete the property, creating a true natural paradise that to define as one of a kind is almost an understatement. Rovereto is a sunny and quiet town on the left Adige, rich in tradition and history, enjoys an enviable central position and all family services. Have you ever thought about it? Verona, Bolzano, Trento all easily reachable by motorway at most in a as well as the sport and leisure of Lake Garda and the mountains of Folgaria and Brentonico. It could be your opportunity to live in a dream villa without giving up your lifestyle, your passions and your work.

Today we are going to Piazza Armerina, a municipality in central-eastern Sicily located in the Erei mountains at around 700 m above sea level. I must admit that I was unaware of the presence of this place and I thought it was a square in Enna and not a true natural and artistic masterpiece, known as "The city of Mosaics and the Norman Palio" or "The city of 100 churches". Our meeting is at the Duomo, the highest point in the city. From here a series of medieval streets unfold through which we wander in ecstasy, while to the right and left we are surrounded by Renaissance and Baroque buildings. A Vespa whizzing by a few steps away from us brings us back down to earth and understand that we are in the 21st century. Among these ancient buildings we identify the one where the property we are going to visit today is located, the result of a recent renovation where a large and modern apartment has been created on the first and second floors. Having crossed the threshold through an ancient and austere wooden door, an elegant staircase covered in Caltagirone marble and ceramics takes us to the first floor where the various rooms develop from the large atrium starting from the living room, the large living area with an American kitchen with a relaxation space and a splendid view where we can admire the famous Gagini balcony and finally a study room and bathroom in refined marble. The staircase that leads us to the sleeping area is another element that characterizes the entire house, marble and glass blend together in an extremely pleasant contrast between the classic and the modern. The second floor reflects the dimensions of the one below, but is different in layout and style the slope of the roof. Here we find the three rooms, one with a walk-in closet and the large bathroom finished in a more modern but no less beautiful way. What can I tell you, a few lines are not enough to describe in detail each environment and the characteristics of the materials and finishes, what we know is that if the center of Piazza Armerina is your destination your search will stop here.

And here, in the hamlet of Castiglione, stands an impeccably renovated ancient farmhouse, seamlessly blending into the surrounding nature like a tile within a mosaic.

The common spaces, including the living room and two restaurant rooms, create a small Garden of Eden. The horseshoe-shaped building embraces a spacious pergola, where guests can enjoy breakfast and meals during the summer, overlooking the viewpoint, swimming pool, and garden. The eclectic style of the villa tells a story through architectural and aesthetic details, from exposed beams and tile floors to ancient doors and beautifully crafted marble sinks.

Marina di Cecina, Tuscany, is famous for its sandy beaches, transparent sea and large countryside in the hinterland, rich in vines, olive groves and cypress trees - an area that abounds in both natural and human beauty, ancient, historical and even recent. Fertile ground for those looking for a place to stay, for those who love Tuscany, with its immense sunsets, friendly people and exquisite cuisine. A question. How many is 300 metres? It's a little less than a five-minute walk. And by bike? Maybe half a minute. All this for a simple thought: we are practically at the seaside. The proposal we want to talk to you about today is in fact a large flat only 300 metres from the beach. It is situated in a very quiet residential area and occupies the first floor of a small house. With 4 free sides it presents itself as a solution for those who want a first or second home for themselves, but also for those with business ideas. The entrance gate leads us to the private courtyard on the ground floor while the external staircase takes us up to the first floor. In its almost 115 square metres of floor space, in addition to three balconies, we find a large entrance hall, a dining room, a kitchen with pantry, a living room, two large double bedrooms, a large bathroom and a last room that could be a study, a third small room or simply a walk-in wardrobe. Large spaces and many rooms, which could be further improved and rationalised, perhaps by obtaining a third bedroom and a second bathroom useful both for personal use and in case one wanted to use the property to rent out, an idea not to be underestimated given the high demand and not only during the summer period. Internally it is in fair condition and can be lived in immediately, with central heating and a beautiful fireplace in the dining room, but with some modernisation and customisation work you can make it absolutely unique.

We are in the historic center of Scicli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where among medieval columns and porches stand the baroque domes of the cathedral. Among oleanders, olive trees and flowers, the scent of the bakery 50 meters away wakes us up in the morning. Here the specialty is the so-called "Testa di Turco", at least double the size of the average, which crumbles into a thousand crunchy and delicate layers of puffy pasta that hide a good dose of cream from the citrus aftertaste. This is the aura of the property below presented, which is spread over a portion of an ancient building and is configured as the ideal for the creation of a reality where, in addition to the scent of the bakery, you can breathe air of modernity, baroque and minimalism. You can think of a holiday home for yourself or for others, for guests or to make income, but also for a primary residence. Why not? Because at the end of the day the location, the main factor of each property, also here it has the upper hand but should not be neglected all the other features. It must be designed as a sort of terraced house, well restored, with parts where, for example, ancient bricks and an old building spring out of the stucco specially, other interesting details such as the medieval arch in the living area, all elements and fine architectural details. Sure, if on one side the house has all some particular elements, on the other there is a final touch to give it its own personality. As an idea, here you could think of how to use the contrast between ancient stone and stucco, installing light wood shelves, decorated with fatty or tropical plants, a beautiful monster for example, perhaps putting some light as can be seen in some modern chic rooms where outdoor bulbs are very popular, the aluminum element in black color, going to work then on the balance of the colors of the house. Let's imagine it in the center of Scicli, both as ours and as a B&B: a living area with a beautiful sofa, the kitchen with a small counter, and the bathroom / laundry room. On the first floor the bedroom, the second bathroom with shower and finally the mezzanine with the exposed roof to be used according to your style. Surely the potential is there, they are at an affordable price, and are located in the center of Scicli, where there is a splendid portion of the building which only your personal touch is missing.

In the heart of the Po Valley, halfway between Cremona and Mantua, Solarolo Rainerio is a town in the province of Cremona that has been able to maintain the typical setting of the rural villages of the area without being overwhelmed by the urban explosion of neighboring realities. Immersed in the countryside, over time has seen the surrounding area enriched with sites with a strong industrial-artisan concentration, for example that of San Giovanni in Croce, which has seen the development of the remarkable production facilities of a well-known company of machinery for gardening, but which has nevertheless managed to maintain a human-scale urban planning and where the centre of spatial distribution still remains the man-earth relationship. It is reachable in half an hour from Parma via the SP343R, in forty-five minutes from Cremona via the SP85 and in forty minutes from Mantua via the SP420, while Bergamo Orio al Serio International Airport is less than one hundred km., Being at the same time secluded but well connected with the main production centres of the area offering an oasis of silence and rhythms of the past to those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of work. In this context is inserted a residence with unique characteristics, which is distinguished by the excellent combination of modern design and references to the past, where the boldness of some architectural choices can be perfectly combined with the references to farmhouses that in the past were the prevailing residential form of the area (see the facade of the living area with large full-height windows interspersed with pillars, which reflect the rationalistic lines of agricultural buildings of the past) reinterpreting them in a modern way. The careful choice of the materials of footsteps by the pool, the walkways, the wise chromatically contrasting with the white of the white of the accessory structures, create together with the careful aesthetic study obtained with the inclusion of LED lights in the essential points of the structure and the pool, a therapeutic effect for the eye and mind. The property consists of two separate buildings joined by a glass structure for a total of over 350sqm. of covered area, spread over an area of about 2800 square meters. A sliding gate next to a pedestrian leads us inside the driveway area in beaten smooth concrete, adjacent to the primary entrance and the pool. From here we reach a space under a porch of about 35sqm. which lends itself to double covered parking space on the north-west side of the building, in which there is also the body of the factory that houses a triple garage of over 56sqm. and service facilities, accessible via double overhead door remote control. Also from the west side, through a pedestrian driveway with spotlights marks step we reach the primary entrance, passing an artistic garden with metal sculptures under a metal beam porch, ideal modern reinterpretation of the arcades of farmhouses once. The primary entrance consists of a passageway, totally glazed at full height, from which we can access the separate structure that houses the living area, or the storage area-central thermal services, or even to the annex area consisting of a large double bedroom with exclusive service from which it is easy to reach the garden and the pool adjacent to the laundry. In the atrium, the stairwell leading to the upper floor, a real load-bearing sculpture that does not hide the artistic inspiration of the designer who wanted it not only as a functional object but also as a decorative motif, houses a sitting room and leads to the living area of the villa through a glass passage and a full-height sliding door that incorporates the stylistic motifs already present in other areas of the house and due to the intervention of an artist who lent herself to interior decorator. The living area is a parallelepiped open on the southern front, and houses the living room of over 56sqm and the kitchen of over 28sqm. which overlook the swimming pool (surface of 50 square meters, LED-lit, with solarium area) and the garden, making everything seamless both visually and in terms of usability, creating a surprising effect of brightness. Inside, the upper floor is reached by a futuristic staircase with suspended steps. To the west is occupied by a master room of 30sqm. with a hydromassage area of another 14sqm. under construction, a master bathroom and a walk-in closet of over 7sqm. All rooms enjoy an incomparable view of the surrounding greenery and a hanging garden above the veranda. The east side opens another room of almost 18sqm. equipped with its own service of about 9sqm. It should be noted that, the arrival of the intention to sell the property suggested to the owner not to complete the finishes of the entire upper floor, to leave more possibility of customization to the new buyer. To conclude, everywhere in this magnificent villa is perceptible the desire of the owner to combine a quality construction of the first order with a desire to reinterpret in a modern key of the local architectural tradition, in a summary that could not leave indifferent.

We are in Trentino, specifically in beautiful Valsugana, where one cannot help but notice among the foliage of the trees two limpid bodies of water, the lakes of Caldonazzo and Levico. But let us dwell on Lake Caldonazzo a short distance from our apartment. We are in an optimal climatic zone that gives the waters of the lake ideal temperatures for bathing from May to the end of September; after all, it is one of the warmest lakes in Europe. In addition to this special feature, you should know that there are free beaches and equipped bathing establishments on its shores. In fact, the lake is ideal for practicing various sports such as sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, rowing, and water skiing. Those who enjoy fishing will also find a wide variety of fish such as trout, rudd, carp, sun perch and tench. Now, however, we head into the historic center of town, on one of Caldonazzo's main streets, where on the 1st floor of a quaint historic house is our recently renovated apartment. It is accessed by climbing a first flight of stairs, from a small terrace that receives the afternoon sun.We enter directly into the kitchen, where there is no lack of a chimney for the installation of a practical economical stove, great for cooking chestnuts in the fall and for natural heat. We continue into the modestly sized living room, which if desired can also become a second room for those who need extra sleeping accommodations. You will be kissed by the sun as you wake up in the morning. The master bedroom, like the living room boasts a beautiful east-facing window and the size is made more generous by a practical walk-in closet. Very nice and elegant bathroom with the large shower stall and window. Completes the property a large and windowed cellar on the ground floor, in which is also located the boiler for the independent heating of the apartment. Everything redone with good taste, attention to the quality of materials and without unpleasant condominium expenses. You just have to order the kitchen and move into this beautiful and cozy nest.

I have just landed in Sardinia, and what at first seemed like a misunderstanding - the car I had booked was not available - turned into a wonderful opportunity, and so at our meeting on the beach in the Gulf of Asinara I turn up in a splendid white convertible car. Above us the clear sky, the scent of saltiness, the spring sun and the verdant landscape of this unusually rainy spring all around us as we drive towards Viddalba.Formerly known as Villa alba (white village), built on the edge of the fertile Coghinas plain, it lies on the soft green hills of Gallura. A stroll through the streets of the village allows us to admire the local handicrafts, in particular the processing of textiles.In the stalls, the colours and scents of the many agricultural products produced here stand out. Sardinia is the ideal place to practise sports, sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing in the Gulf of Asinara, trekking and horse-riding among the fascinating rural roads in the stazzi on the heights bordering the territory to the east and the paths that cross deep red rocks and take us to the peaks also thanks to the windy 'vie chiodate' . This place is so enchanting that we are forgetting why we met here, the attic apartment on the third and last floor of this block of flats.The flat is designed as an open space, a large white-grey living area with an open kitchen area overlooking the first of the two south-facing terraces.The relaxation area overlooks the other north-facing terrace, which is also bathtub-shaped and therefore covered from prying eyes. Both terraces have two inlets that could become, with sliding structures, convenient outdoor storage rooms, where it is also possible to house the motor for the air-conditioning system for which the flat is already prepared. Two large rooms with sloping roofs have been fitted out as beds, which can comfortably accommodate four, while the windowed bathroom with a large shower completes the floor. The surprises don't end there, a few steps away from the house we visit the Casteldoria thermal baths: its salty-bromine-iodine waters with curative properties gush out at over 70 degrees. But the special feature of this moment is an ancient tradition that has been revived, the Gallurese wedding with poetry competitions, horse parades, singing and dancing.I knew that this visit would trigger in you, too, the desire to have a corner of paradise in this fascinating region where you can retreat to enjoy the sun, sea and tradition, and having a proposal already fully furnished...well, you only have to worry about fixing the date of the deed.

On this splendid spring day, accompanied by the singing of birds, our visit to the Pantanella farm allows us to live for a while in a bucolic context similar to those described by Jane Austin. We are located in the Maremma natural park, a few km from the sea and one of the most beautiful and intact coasts of the Maremma coast and at the foot of the Uccellina mountains covered in thick Mediterranean scrub where nature rules over man. And so while our gaze is lost in the hectares of land in the soft countryside we are about to visit the manor house, an aristocratic country residence on two levels with warehouses and storage rooms on the ground floor and the first or floor dedicated to the home. In the courtyard, in addition to the main building, we find 3 other buildings once used for agricultural and livestock farming, warehouses, chicken coops, pigsties, stables and barns which take us back in time and make us relive the past. The property includes approximately 31 hectares of which part is occupied by a vineyard for approximately 17,000 meters and 100 olive trees while the rest is currently used as arable land and by a forest of over 4 hectares separated from the property where the farmers once lived they supplied wood. The property would be well suited to becoming an accommodation facility in which to combine the production of oil, aromatic herbs and other agricultural products with special experiences in nature in one of the rural buildings or in other eco-sustainable solutions to be included in this area of particular beauty. Not to be underestimated is the presence of high salinity thermal waters underground which could extend the offer of a possible accommodation facility. Close your eyes and imagine yourself already here, you have decided to move to your new life and you have enriched the structure with antique wooden furniture, precious white porcelain objects, cushions and curtains in finely embroidered antique white cotton. Everything speaks of your love for this place from the lavender pots that you placed in ancient wineskins, to the iron lamps found in a second-hand shop and even the white bicycle with the large wicker basket with which you take long walks along the tree-lined avenues. In the morning after a restful sleep you wake up in your wrought iron bed which was once a gate and after having pulled back some ancient embroidered linen curtains you enjoy the panorama of the Maremma Natural Park, with the Uccellina mountains as a backdrop. Agritourism, charming B&B, educational farm, riding school or simply your country residence, there are countless possibilities for developing this property set in a context where the calm rhythm of the countryside dominates and not far from the sea, from the splendid art cities of the Tuscany and its naturalistic wonders.

Dip in the pool? Joy, beauty, relaxation: this splendid villa, even if the temptation to call it a mansion is strong, dominates with so much elegance over what this market typically has to offer, that you would want to say "enough chatter, come and see it!"With an original character, its strengths make it a one-of-a-kind opportunity: whether it be the architecture, the essence of the spaces, the reflections of the sun on the colors of the house, there is an almost palpable air of well-being. The internal spaces divided over three floors plus the basement are extremely large, approximately 650 m2 and bright, offering comfortable and welcoming environments for the whole family but also for any guests if we decide to share this wonder also through platforms such as AirBnB.The open panoramic view of the city of Campobasso, the surrounding villages and the Matese mountains offers moments of absolute relaxation and tranquility. Beauty and elegance, all combined with the very high quality of the materials used in the construction, which guarantee durability and prestige to the property, constitutes the ideal investment for those who care about their quality of life. Located in a residential area, immersed in a private park of over 1 hectare, the villa is located in the small municipality of Oratino but close to the city of Campobasso, therefore offering convenience and accessibility to urban services. We are talking about the perfect combination of city and countryside, but without the stress of the city and without the fear of being isolated. The living area which occupies the entire ground floor, is made up of two large rooms, located on opposite sides of the house, the large living room on one side and the country style kitchen with dining area and relaxation corner on the other, while centrally we find the elegant stairwell, study, bathroom and laundry room. The first floor houses the sleeping area, 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Among all, the double room worthy of a 5-star hotel stands out with a walk-in closet, master bathroom and private terrace with 360-degree views. Let's now go up to the attic, here too the spaces are wasted, a bathroom, a large closet and two large rooms which currently house the gym and the relaxation area, but which can be transformed into bedrooms if desired. The large basement is ideal for creating a relaxation area or even a small wellness centre, adding value and versatility to the property but if you have a passion for cars you can park several in over 100m2 of garage. Clearly, this residence can also easily be adapted in its entirety to function as a Bed & Breakfast, offering an interesting and profitable investment opportunity. Two words also for the outside, the large porch, the swimming pool and the splendid park designed by a landscape architect will offer moments of leisure and entertainment for friends, guests and the whole family. In summary, this property represents an unmissable opportunity for those seeking comfort, quality and versatility in a residential location close to city services.

It is well known by now how much I love to travel and, above all, to observe. Work visits always turn out to be extraordinary opportunities to learn and experience fantastic moments. Today's stroll took me within the walls of Murlo, a small and pristine medieval village nestled in the heart of a wild and unspoiled territory. It captivates because it is far from mass tourism and evokes life from another era. However, what surprises most is the surrounding territory and, in particular, its inhabitants, who bear an extraordinary resemblance to Etruscan paintings. It's not just my observation; I discovered that it has recently been proven that the local population carries Etruscan DNA. This is because it was a fiefdom of the Bishops of Siena and remained isolated for centuries. All of this holds enormous charm for me, but the most incredible experience came during the visit to the property. A fantastic sensation enveloped me, as if my brain were an independent organ sketching out projects at a rapid pace, crumpling and throwing them aside, engrossed in another fantastic idea. I almost seemed to see all those balls of paper scattered disorderly on the terracotta floor. And my heart danced to the waltz of euphoria unleashed by adrenaline. Upon entering the atrium of the first palace, I immediately realized that the term B&B was an understatement, as the structure lends itself to various solutions. Visiting the first two floors already set up to accommodate guests in its 7 rooms with attached bathrooms sparked in me a desire to preserve all the beauty that already exists and perhaps enhance it with some modern furnishings here and there, highlighting the enchanting ancient terracotta floors and tiles, but toning down the colors and favoring white. Once downstairs, the alcoves won me over. Here, one can truly decide to do something in addition to the upper floors and thus dedicate oneself to breakfasts, lunches, events, but I believe that's limiting it; it's primarily a place to share. The niches suggest tastings, possibly of excellent Tuscan wines and olive oil, but one could also focus on products made perhaps with a personal brand, creating a small production. Considering the splendid and enormous fully equipped kitchen, one could think of exclusive pastry-making to delight the guests' palates. But I wouldn't rule out dedicating oneself to catering in the wonderful vaulted halls, with typical Tuscan cuisine products, organizing events, aperitifs, themed dinners both indoors and outdoors, in the splendid garden and by the poolside. Did I tell you that strolling within these walls has inspired me with lots of ideas and images of what could be done? Now, you too can take a walk, breathe this pure air, lose yourself in the idyllic landscape, and think that you could have not only a business but a whole new life for yourself and your family. But when you need your privacy and tranquility, you can always retreat to the annex where a beautiful three-bedroom apartment awaits you. Will you be able to enjoy your spaces and have everything under control? Are you still thinking about it?

The ancient villages of the scattered municipality of Zignago, nestled on the profile of its mountains or collected in small and protected plains, tell us about its medieval history and preserve magnificent examples of rural architecture which has kept the balance of the natural landscape intact with the works of the 'man.

What's better than starting the summer by visiting what could become your seaside villa? The location is certainly one of the first things to evaluate and the choice here couldn't be more appropriate. We are in Agropoli, a fantastic place to explore due to its strategic position, perched on a promontory overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. The town began to develop beyond the walls only during the nineteenth century, thus maintaining its ancient center and much of the walls. It is a highly sought-after tourist location not only for its historical heritage but also for its position as it is located within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. But it will be the shade of blue of this crystalline sea and its golden sandy beaches that will make you understand that you have finally arrived home. But today we came to discover a charming terraced villa characterized by a truly breathtaking sea view. Perfect for those looking for a modern residence with well-defined spaces and high-quality finishes. After passing the garden, where we also find the well, we are welcomed by a porch ideal for outdoor lunches and dinners, perfect for enjoying the sea breeze. From here you have direct access to the living area, a large open space with open kitchen, living room and relaxation area designed to combine comfort and functionality. The apartment is all on one floor and we therefore find the beautiful room, with en-suit bathroom, embellished with gray Venetian stucco and bathroom fixtures with modern lines including a comfortable bathtub. The room with its large spaces has direct access to the garden from which it enjoys the wonderful panorama overlooking the archaeological area of ​​Paestum and a glimpse of the island of Capri, a unique scenario, from the setting of the sun on the island to the autumn nights when a moon redhead hides in the sea. Next door we find the second room, also of excellent size and both embellished with a walk-in closet. The second bathroom, always furnished in a modern style, has a large and functional shower. The villa has a second porch at the back and a terrace that occupies the entire upper space from where you can admire the Temple of Hera, reachable by a modern iron staircase where the photovoltaic panels are housed. The latest generation house has underfloor heating, air conditioning, electric Venetian blinds inserted into the glass, burglar alarm, solar panels and a 10 kW photovoltaic system with two 30 kW storage batteries which contribute to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability giving total autonomy to the villa.

Yellow convertible Beetle, music by Bob Marley, around us alternate shades of green, yellow and brown of the plowed and cultivated fields while above us the sky is the color of sugar paper. Before visiting the property, a stop in the center of Gonzaga, a small rural town in the Po Valley halfway between Mantua and Reggio Emilia which gave its name to one of the most illustrious Italian families of the Renaissance. There is always something to discover and the cuisine and wine of the area never disappoints. Today I am curious to visit, I really love old country houses and I like to see how they have been restored. My expectations were not disappointed and after walking down the driveway an imposing two-storey clay brick house with petrol green shutters stood out. A paved pedestrian entrance flanked by multicolored hydrangeas leads us to the finely renovated double-leaf wooden door in pleasant contrast with the glass and iron solution of the door which allows natural light to enter the reception. Yes, because on the ground floor a B&B has been cleverly created with welcoming and large rooms from which you can admire the breath-taking view of the plain, equipped with fireplaces and en suite bathrooms and a large kitchen space to indulge in. On the first floor, with access from an internal staircase, we find the master apartment. Three large bedrooms, a large kitchen, the heart of the house in the tradition of rural families and two warm and welcoming living rooms heated by ancient terracotta stoves from the early twentieth century. We take a last flight of stairs and here we are in the attic, another huge space to design and think about. This farm is a perfect combination of ancient and modern, in which the renovated blends with the recovered in a welcoming harmony that makes you immediately feel at home. Around the main farmhouse, forming a square with the well in the centre, there are 3 other buildings, what I call the farmhouse, a two-storey building which could become the annex with 2 or more residential units, the old dovecote and a further building currently used as tool storage and shelter. The possibilities of use are manifold: I would see well a restaurant activity perhaps using the outdoor spaces for weddings and ceremonies in pure roof style, or expand the B&B with other themed or two -room apartments in the household, or the creation of spaces for teaching workshops perhaps with the addition of animals typical of the farm and why not also keep the existing one by dedicating themselves to dog breeding. For those who love the countryside, this property already has everything you could want, the stars in the window, the ladybugs on the tree and the bottle of white wine in the fridge, all it takes is a little imagination to transform it into your place of life and passion.
